Who are the new poor? And what can we do about it? Today 13 million people are living in poverty in the UK. According to a 2017 report, 1 in 5 children live below the poverty line. The new poor, however, are an even larger group than these official figures suggest. They are more often than not in work, living precariously and betrayed by austerity policies that make affordable good quality housing, good health and secure employment increasingly unimaginable. In The New Poverty investigative journalist Stephen Armstrong travels across Britain to tell the stories of those who are most vulnerable. It is the story of an unreported Britain, abandoned by politicians and betrayed by the retreat of the welfare state. As benefit cuts continue and in-work poverty soars, he asks what long-term impact this will have on post-Brexit Britain and-on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the 1942 Beveridge report-what we can do to stop the destruction of our welfare state."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Poverty $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Working poor $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Economic history $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Poverty $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074093 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Working poor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180666 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Economic Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Poverty & Homelessness. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Classes & Economic Disparity. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214023237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=73D005D672D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
